Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.

MODERATORS
There very little I care less about than the comments I’ve had removed for calling out a ban-evading troll.
They end up in the mod log, and the more people that know what you’re doing, the better. So either they’ll be seen here, or there.
Little difference to me, Monk.
And if the mods and admins happen to be even remotely curious about whether or not they’re protecting a known troll that’s been banned from multiple instances for harassment- all they have to do is ask.
I’ll be happy to help.
I'm not Monk.
I haven't been banned from anywhere for harassment.
Again, I am not the subject of OP's post and I'm not the mod who banned him.
Funny how you haven’t appealed a single instance in which you were banned/removed for ban evading. Is it because you know they have the receipts?
Yeah dude, I know a few mods.
Anyway, I’m done here. Go ahead and report these comments, claim to have not, deny you’re Monk again, and we can all go back to knowning who you are, and you can be happy knowing you’ve pulled the wool once again.
There are no receipts because I'm not Universal Monk.
I'm not the subject of OP's post and I'm not the mod who banned him. Let it go and move on.
K byeeeeee Monk. :)
Again, not me.
I guess there’s another person that disagrees with that statement.
Not an alt of mine. Someone tagged me, but I have nothing to do with any of this. My only alts use my name, Universal Monk.
